Javier,
Though IE is no longer supported and appears to be removed from the
system, it is still there. The issue is whether the ActiveX control that
is supposed to read the SWF file is installed. In RBASE, an IE session
may be started in the browser control. The browser control has an option
on whether to use IE or Edge as the engine.
Another approach is to import the SWF ActiveX control to RBASE as a
control (if present in the system). Then load the SWF using that
imported ActiveX control.
If the SWF reader is not present, then you can't do much about it. Adobe
Flash is long gone.
Regarding a way to globally remove the design password from all forms,
you may contact the support and services team at R:BASE Technologies for
such special service.
Hope it helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak

I am working on an older application that uses SWF pictures generated

I just placed a web browser in the form, and it displayed the SWF
picture without any problem; I believe it used the MS Explorer.
Apparently, the new browser, Edge, no longer supports SWF files, nor
do any of the other browsers as the format has been discontinued. I
tried several format converters, but none seems to work with this
flavor of SWF.
Is there anyway to display a SWF file in and R:Base form? I might be
able to get the picture/graph as an Excel graph. Is there any way to
display an Excel graph in a form.
The last option would be to get the graph as a data set and the use
R:Charts to generate the graph. Since the graph is only used in one
form, seems like R:Charts would be an overkill.
On a separate note, is there a way to globally remove the design
password from all forms? I seem to remember there was a way to do it
but not having used R:base for a while now, I am somewhat rusty. I
have over 200 forms and I would prefer to do them all at once; I seem
to remember adding the design password to all the forms globally…but I
could be wrong.. ☹
Any ideas or suggestion will be appreciated.
